Silly Bride

Chapter 93
Unfortunately, while Zyon’s men were halfway through conducting a search in the mountain at the back of the Fairchild
residence, the cops arrived.They instantly locked down the area. Zyon’s men had no choice but to retreat since they could not
confront the cops.Nonetheless, Zyon’s men did not return empty-handed. They found a few emerald beads and handed them to
Zyon.Zyon let out a mirthless laugh while rotating the beads repeatedly in his palm.He turned to Yulissa and said, “Good thing
you knew the lunatic had a bracelet. They nearly fooled me with these emerald beads.”“This must be Louis’ work. He must have
placed these beads because he knew we would destroy the evidence.” Yulissa sounded worried, “I’m afraid he’ll foil our
plan.”Zyon snorted. “Once I take over Xavier’s position, I’ll kick Louis out of Fairchild Corporation. Let’s see how he can compete
with me once he’s out of the picture! But we won’t be able to find out if the bracelet has Kylie’s fingerprints anymore. I have to
talk to Hamish and get him to convince Kylie to take the blame.”“Would he agree, though?” Yulissa asked.Zyon responded with a
smirk. “Hamish had sold off his wife in his younger days, and he had also sold off his daughter at midlife. He’ll do anything to
safeguard his interest. By the way, let’s not meet up too frequently. Meet me when this issue has subsided.”“Got it.” Yulissa
clenched her fists. What makes him think I want to be there? I swear I’ll kill him when the time is right!As he was about to leave,
the housekeeper came in with a parcel. “You have a package, Mr. Fairchild. The deliveryman from Intra-City Express Service
said the sender requested you to open the parcel immediately.”“Who on earth has the audacity to be so demanding?” The
request aroused Zyon’s curiosity, even though he was about to leave the house.He pointed at the table. “Put it there. Open it
up.”The housekeeper immediately unwrapped the parcel.The parcel was a cardboard box, nothing extraordinary, and it was
stuffed with foam peanuts.After going through the package for a while, the housekeeper found a plastic bag that was as large as
a child’s palm.“Mr. Fairchild, this is the only thing found in the box.” The housekeeper then passed the plastic bag to Zyon.After
taking over the item and glancing at it, Zyon froze for a moment. He immediately asked, “Where’s the deliveryman?”“He left...”
the housekeeper answered sheepishly. Zyon’s agitated reaction made her feel she had done something wrong.“What are you
waiting for? Go and get him right now!”He wanted to get the deliveryman because the plastic bag contained one of the beads of
the bracelet he had been hunting for.The bead, stained with soil, was carved with the letter “W.” It must be the bracelet Winnie
lost when she was shoved down the mountain. But who? Who delivered this bracelet to me?While all sorts of questions raced
through Zyon’s mind when the housekeeper left, the landline phone on his coffee table started ringing.The landline phone in his
house was nothing more than a decoration as people rarely called the number. Yet, at that moment, the phone rang
unexpectedly.Zyon could not help but feel eerie.After a short hesitation, he picked up the call. “Who are you? Are you the one
who sent me the parcel?”“That’s right, Mr. Fairchild. You’re a smart man.” An indifferent voice emerged from the other end of the
phone. Clearly, the person’s voice was altered through a voice changer. Zyon knitted his brows. “Who on earth are you? Tell me
your name!”The person responded with a mirthless laugh. “You don’t have to worry about my identity. The important thing is, I’ve
delivered something useful to you. You have a great future ahead, but you’re involved in too many homicides. You wouldn’t want

to risk putting your future at stake all because of a stupid woman, right?”“Who are you? How do you know all these?” Zyon
exclaimed.“Listen carefully, Zyon Fairchild. Think of a way to place the bead near where Kylie is. Once the cops notice she has
the bead, they’ll identify her as the main suspect of the murder. When that happens, you’ll be able to clear your name.”“Who the
heck are you?” Zyon could not help but shudder.Not only did that mysterious person know Zyon’s every move, but he also
seemed to know what was on the latter’s mind.Feeling insecure, Zyon vowed to find out the person’s identity.Yet, the caller hung
up on him after making those remarks.Zyon put down the phone and ordered his men to investigate the number, but they soon
found out it was a fake online number. Even the deliveryman had vanished off the face of the earth.Meanwhile, at the
condominium at Aqua Moana, Winnie deleted the fake online number after ending the call with Zyon.She believed Zyon and
Yulissa would frame Kylie as the scapegoat.Winnie did not do this to help Zyon and Yulissa devise an escape plan. She was
merely cooperating with Narcotics Enforcement Department to set up a bigger trap.On the other hand, Kylie was not all innocent
either because she had attempted murder and employed someone to carjack a vehicle. Hence, she deserved to be caught by
the cops.Soon, the cops found traces of evidence that proved Winnie was shoved down the mountain at the back of the Fairchild
residence.Thanks to the evidence, the footage of Winnie roaming around the Fairchild residence and leaving the residence in a
car was disregarded.Nonetheless, the cops spotted a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Winne in the video. That
prompted them to carry out investigations on the suspicious figure.From the footage, the cops noticed the woman was wearing a
pair of limited-edition shoes. Anyone who purchased the limited edition would need to have their names registered, so the cops
reached out to the store and found out that the buyer was Kylie.The truth was finally revealed.On the night of the incident, Kylie
murdered Winnie and pushed her down the mountain. She then put on an oversized coat and a cap to pretend to be Winnie and
later faked her disappearance.Moreover, the cops had also found a bead from Winnie’s bracelet in Kylie’s closet. There was no
way she could deny all the evidence.Kylie knew the cops were coming after her and would press charges against her, and she
would eventually be put behind bars.The first thought that crossed her mind was to escape from Avenport and leave Chanaea.
There was nothing the authorities could do with her once she fled the country.Yet, her biological father, Hamish, stopped her from
leaving because he had struck a deal with Zyon and agreed to make her daughter a scapegoat. “Kylie, listen to me. Turn yourself
in and explain everything to the cops. Since Winnie is not dead, you’ll only be charged with attempted murder. Besides, you’ll
also get to plead for a lower sentence, and I’m sure the judge will reduce your jail time.”“The lawyer I spoke to said you’ll at most
serve two to three years in jail. If you’re well-behaved, I might be able to pull some strings and get you out in a year,” he
explained further.
